Isn't there a list somewhere of all the shootings just since Sandy Hook?

I started to keep track but then there were so many. It hasn't been two weeks, and we've got firefighters down, mall shootings, people walking along PA highways. Seems like at least one event every day.

This nation seems like it's in a race to rock-bottom, and I'm sure the economy and holidays aren't helping matters either.

What Japan loses in 9 years, we have snuffed out in one week.

Fratricide (from the Latin words frater "brother" and cida "killer," or cidum "a killing," both from caedere "to kill, to cut down&quot

is the act of a person killing his or her brother. Related concepts are sororicide (the killing of one's sister)

i think a term for killing your neighbor, friend, or fellow citizen should be invented.

oh, wait a minute, there is one for the fellow citizen thing

CIVIL MOTHERF'ING WAR

100 since last friday? yep civil war sounds about right.

i know this is silly, but couldn't obama declare a civil war, and then declare THAT IT SUCKS as in "america is at war with itself. this must stop"
